Specication ofLetters Patent No. 8,117, dated May 27, 18 5`1.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, ENooH S FARsoN, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in` Portable Swings; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact de` scription thereof.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention Il will proceed to describe the construction and operation of the same. t y

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure l is a side view, Fig. 2 a front view.

Like letters represent like parts in each A posts, B beam, C screw brace which passes down through beam B, D nut on screw C, E cap on C, F cradle, Gr hooks connecting the posts A, I-I hinges connectingn the posts on one side to beam B, I studs, J

cords att-ached to the studs I, When this y swing is to be used, it may be placed in any desired place on the floor, and arranged in the manner represent-ed by the drawings, the cap E being pressed up against the ceiling, by turning the nut D which will hold the whole frame firm in its place. The child or children are then placed in the cradle, and by takingzhold of the cords J and occasionally pulling on the same, it will give a circular reciprocating motion. i

IIaving thus fully described the construction and operation of my improvement in portable swings, what I claim therein as new and ofmyinvention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- The suspension of a swing tothe hinged frame supported or strengthened by the adn justable brace C substantially as herein set forth.
